This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

Calling someone a RuZZian on FR is considered an insult.
Another big jump in RuZZian tank kills.
Demilitarization, desatanization and denazification of RuZZia continues.
Hundreds of RuZZian casualties near Kreminna today.
“Russian sources say that the HIMARS strike that led to hundreds of casualties near Kreminna, it took place earlier today. Involved was the 20th Army and its general, Sukhrab “If they die, they die” Akhmedov, known for last year’s Vuhledar kamikaze charge. The Delimkhanov incident appears to be completely unrelated: “Yesterday Putin was talking about how inefficient parquet generals are, and today there are reports in the Kreminna area a strike was dealt at the units of one of the divisions that were waiting for a speech from the division commander. They say that they waited two hours in one place. As you might guess, the only things that arrived were HIMARS and artillery. As they write, the responsibility is on the commander of the 20th army, General Akhmedov, who managed to become famous with Muradov near Ugledar.””

“The bizarre situation with Adam Delimkhanov appears to be connected to a number of outcries in Z-channels today complaining about Russian commanders concentrating infantry near the frontline. The reports seem to suggest that a HIMARS arrived at a location near Kreminna recently, killing hundreds of Russians preparing for an assault against Ukrainian positions, and Delimkhanov could be among the wounded.
Here are some excerpts from Russian channels:
Starshe Eddy, 8:46AM: “If by the middle of the second year of the war there are commanders who take columns to the front and concentrate all personnel in one big pile, and wait for the enemy artillery to strike, then such commanders must be shot before in front of the formation, even if they are colonels or even generals.”
Crybar, 8:52AM: “It was near Kremennaya, a tragic incident occurred in one of the divisions that were about to go on the offensive. For two hours people stood in a crowd in one place and waited for the division commander to say his motivating speech. But instead of him, the HIMARS MLRS and enemy artillery had their say. In the South Donetsk direction, in a few days there were fewer casualties in the battles than from the criminal stupidity of the division commander.”
Dva Mayora, 9:15AM “B*tch, you shouldn’t stay in a column for two hours in one place! What are you doing, father commanders? You are commanding people! Will they prosecute bloggers again instead of the degenerates with high ranks? The Armed Forces of Ukraine have no merit in this war. We are at war with our own stupidity and lack of care, mixed up with positive reports.”
Voyenniy Osvedomitel, 9:23AM: “Let’s add that the people responsible for this have already managed to “become famous” in other areas more than once. And not only the division commander but also his immediate superior. However, instead of bearing responsibility, comrades degenerals continued to selflessly occupy key army positions. The result was not long in coming. Should we expect punishment for them this time, or will it all happen again? For us, this question is, alas, rhetorical.” Some seem to point at a general related to the infamous 155th Banzai Marine Brigade which was demolished in Pavlivka last November, as the culprit of the incident. The general’s name is Sukhrab Akhmedov. Regardless of any involvement of Delimkhanov in the incident, the strike could be another great victory for Ukrainians.”

“Ramzan Kadyrov published a cryptic message on his telegram saying he lost his dear BROTHER Adam Delimkhanov who is not getting back to him. Kadyrov is asking Ukrainian intelligence to say what positions they hit so he could find his friend: “I’m unable to reach Adam Delimkhanov in any way. He isn’t getting in touch. I ask Ukrainian intelligence to provide information on exactly what place and what positions were hit, so that I could still find my dear BROTHER. I promise a generous reward and I ask you to help.””

“Ex-commander of the RU 72nd brigade, Roman Venevitin, said that the coordinates of Delimkhanov and other Kadyrovites who were with him were leaked to the Ukrainian SBU by Wagner PMC fighters. Also, according to him, Delimkhanov was seriously wounded, and the losses among other Kadyrovites were significant.”

“Turkey’s Erdogan Hosts Talks on Sweden’s NATO Membership”
“President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey is expected to host high-level talks on Wednesday aimed at bridging differences over Sweden’s application to join NATO.
The talks between Mr. Erdogan and senior officials from Finland, Sweden and NATO are set to be the first since the Turkish president secured re-election last month, and Turkey’s allies will be watching closely for any signs that Mr. Erdogan’s position on Sweden’s application — which he has so far blocked — has changed.
Sweden and Finland both applied to join NATO after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February last year, but Turkey has hobbled the expansion process, accusing the two Nordic nations of not taking Turkey’s security concerns seriously. In April, Turkey allowed Finland to join NATO, but it has so far refused to do the same for Sweden, accusing it of not meeting Turkey’s demands.”
“As Ukraine fights back, hundreds of NATO warplanes are flying over Germany in alliance’s largest-ever aerial drills”
“As the early stages of Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian invaders is unfolding on the battlefield, hundreds of warplanes from some of Kyiv’s biggest supporters are in the skies over Germany as NATO holds its largest aerial war games ever.
“Air Defender 2023” is bringing together 250 warplanes – including 190 fighter jets – and 10,000 troops in drills designed to boost the alliance’s preparedness and ability “to protect against aircraft, drones and missile attacks on cities and critical infrastructure,” according to a NATO press release.”

The Russian military, the second largest military in the world, may not be what it looks like. Lies and systematic corruptions may in fact have dragged Russia into this war with Ukraine, which has been heavily backed up by the US and NATO. We will present the evidence, you make your own decision, because the Russian Army, is not what you think.

Designed to support the U.S. Army Captains Career Course, “Understanding Combined Arms Warfare” defines and outlines the important aspects of modern combined arms operations. This is not a complete history of combined arms warfare. It is intended to highlight the most important aspects of the subject.
The beginning of the documentary establishes a common understanding of combined arms warfare by discussing doctrinal and equipment developments in World War I. The second part compares the development of French and German Army mechanization during the interwar period and describes how each country fared during the Battle of France in 1940. The film concludes by showing how the United States applied combined arms operations in the European Theater in World War II.

[ Ukrainian Tanks Breach Russian Defense | Epic Battle ]
••Day 475: Jun 13
The most intense clashes continue to take place south of Velyka Novosilka.
Today Ukrainian 35th and 137th Mechanized Brigades finally released footage of how they managed to generate such a deep and powerful breakthrough along the hills west of the river.
First of all, Ukrainians launched massive artillery preparation on the first Russian line of defense along the tree lines.
Judging by the footage, it seems like Russian sources did not exaggerate its devastation.
Next, Ukrainians launched a mechanized attack, where multiple armored fighting vehicles drew enemy attention to themselves, suppressed enemy fire, and provided cover for the infantry.
The infantry quickly closed the distance and started storming whatever was left of the Russian defense line.
The key was to repeat this process non-stop, and with each iteration, the Russian defense was collapsing faster and faster, as the fallback positions did not have a chance to be properly manned and supported.
In the aftermath of the first wave of attacks, Russians were forced out of Neskuchne, Storozheve, and, Blahodatne.
Yesterday I told you that Ukrainians launched the second wave of attacks here and that Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister confirmed that these attacks resulted in the liberation of Makarivka.
Today Ukrainian 35th and 137th Mechanized Brigades also released a video of how it happened.
As you can see, the attacks were heavier, and Ukrainians already started using tanks to demolish Russian trenches in the tree lines around the village while the infantry was assaulting the village itself.
The fighter reported that Russians were not prepared to face such a powerful attack and abandoned their positions immediately after Ukrainians entered Makarivka.
He also said that Russians immediately started using aviation and regular and thermobaric artillery to level the village with the ground while the whole Ukrainian assault unit was still in the region.
However, he noted that they were prepared for such a development, his artillery units quickly returned the fire, and Russian artillery strikes immediately stopped.
Yesterday, I also told you that Russian forces launched a counterattack in the direction of Makarivka, and I told you that this move was highly likely done to protect the flanks of the retreating from Rivnopil forces.
And this is exactly what was happening today. Russian sources reported that Russian forces conducted at least 3 powerful attacks on Makarivka during the day, which forced Ukrainians to use their forces here.
Such actions alleviated pressure from Rivnopil and allowed Russian troops to repel small Ukrainian attacks, even though part of the personnel had departed to the next line of defense.
Russian sources reported that in the meantime they are actively digging trenches 700 meters south of Makarivka. Simultaneously, Ukrainian forces are destroying Russian troops and reinforcements in the rear.
Today Ukrainian sources confirmed that they relocated here the most feared drone detachment, namely, Madiar’s Birds Assault Drone Battalion.
Just over the last day, Madiar’s Birds destroyed 8 Russian tanks. 4 of those strikes were geolocated, and it was revealed that they destroyed 2 tanks in Staromaiorske, 2 tanks in Zavitne Bazhannya.
Ukrainians also relocated Special Operators Omega, who also posted footage of destroying Russian tanks in Staromaiorske.
Finally, reconnaissance drone detachments from 55th and 129th Brigades showed how they identified and in coordination with artillery crews, destroyed at least 4 pieces of equipment in Staromlynivka.
When it comes to the further development of the counteroffensive operation, today, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians finished the de-mining process between Levadne and Pryyutne and conducted a reconnaissance-in-force operation.
This is a strong indicator that the next powerful attack may come from this direction, and as Ukrainians also attacked Rivnopil today, it seems like Ukrainians are planning to even out the front line before conducting another deep penetration of the Russian defenses.
And this makes sense because if we look at the topographic map, we can see that by evening out the contact line, Ukrainians will gain very wide access to the next elevated platform, which will make it easier to breach the next Russian defense line.
••Makarivka is under UA control.

Russia sends more than 20 helicopters to the Berdansk airfield. 5 KA-25s, 13 KA-29s, 7 Mi-8a60/Mi- 24. There are too widely separated or out or range for HIMARS and it would require at least 15 cruise missiles.

Putin holds conference with mil bloggers in Moscow. Gives them the talking points and the numbers to push in propaganda [ New pro-Putin troll lines expected. ]
Putin shows he has no clue what is happening on the front line by commenting that the Belgorod region has been cleared of the enemy. He also said after they withdrew from the Kiev region that some sort of peace deal would be made, but the Ukrainians attack his forces!
He said his main problem is Ukraine attaining Western weapons. Not one blogger said anything to the contrary, even though they probably knew the real situation.
Put only deals with paper and TV reports & never uses the internet. He lives in his own bubble. Most people know more about the real war situation than he does. [ This shows how slavishly pro-Putin trolls follow Putin’s every pronouncement. ]
This seems to indicate that Russia has no real leader or commander.
==
UA troops are still training in Germany on Leopard 1A5 tanks. These tanks and the Challengers will likely be used in assaulting the next and major line of Russian defenses.

Prigozhin went to a special rally to visit lots of Russian cities with his conferences. 80% of what Prigozhin says is actually true - mostly about terrible conditions and state of the RGF and the Russian system as a whole.
Putin said in the recent offensive the UA lost 160 tanks, while at the same time Prigozhin said the UA only lost 2 tanks, which is confirmed. He admitted the UA is getting closer, taking territories and Russia has nothing to respond.
He went on to say that there is no movement by the Russian command to handle the situation in the south. He said the UA has a good chance of having a successful offensive and, unless they are stopped, will reach Crimea.
He plans the come back to the Wagner army in Ukraine on 5th of August.

••The convoy of “right hand” of Kadyrov was Ambushed. The main Chechen general Delimkhanov destiny is unknown for now. He is not responding to phone calls…
Kadyrov’s associate Delimkhanov was wounded, but he is alive - the press service of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. The convoy was ambushed in Ukraine. There is some strange information coming from the Russian side about Delimkhanov. Some say that he is alive, some say that there is still no contact with him. I think we should wait till the evening…
